Saints Row 2 dev: 'we can compete with GTA 4'

Developer Volition believes Saints Row 2 will more than hold its own in the battle of the gangster sandbox games when it goes head to head with GTA 4 this year.

Speaking at the unveiling of the game in London, Volition's Greg Donovan, producer on Saints Row 2, added that he didn't believe Rockstar was "holding something back" with regards to cooperative play in GTA 4, a game mode he expects to be a "huge distinguishing factor" between the two titles.

I can't believe they are making the new Red Faction a Third Person Shooter.

I have said from the beginning that Rockstar needs to have a co-op mode for offline and online to where you can just run around the city f*cking sh*t up. I hope they incorporate this like SR2 is. Either way GTA4 is going to destroy SR2.
